Actor William Petersen, who portrays Gil Grissom on the popular television series, CSI: Las Vegas, is set to make his departure from the show.

Now, before all you fans out there start to panic and begin making speculations, Petersen's exit will not mark the end of Grissom, as the departure is only temporary and will be written as one of Grissom's well-deserved and highly necessary vacation leaves.

Although many may think that a lot will be lost without one of the show's central character, it may prove well for Petersen's acting career. Sure, he has reached unbelievable levels of popularity with CSI: Las Vegas, but wouldn't you want to see him branch out a little bit?

While Grissom takes some time off from visiting gruesome crime scenes and the dark and depressing crime labs in Las Vegas, Petersen has set his sights on performing on stage. Having been primarily trained as a Shakespearean actor and a former member of the Steppenwolf Theater Company, it makes sense as to why Petersen does not boast of a long list of television and film credits.

Come to think of it, Petersen didn't have much of a small screen career prior to his role on CSI: Las Vegas. He has made some notable film appearances, including Manhunter, Fear, Skulls and The Contender, but nothing has really quite measured up to the success brought about by his portrayal of Grissom.

Still, it is quite comforting to know that Petersen is secure enough to explore other ventures. Perhaps having turned down parts in big screen hits like Oliver Stone's Platoon and the mob drama Goodfellas, taught Petersen that taking risks could sometimes be worthwhile. Besides, with already six seasons of CSI: Las Vegas under his belt, it's going to take a lot more than just a brief absence to erase Petersen from the minds and hearts of true CSI fans.
